A Russian woman has given birth to a baby weighing 7.75kg (17.5lbs), more than twice the average newborn weight.
The "little" girl, Nadia, was delivered by Caesarean section at a hospital in the Altai region of Siberia, joining eight sisters and three brothers. Check out some more information on the 'Giant Baby' alongwith 3 more pics after the jump.
All her previous babies had weighed more than 5kg (11lb), a local reporter was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying.
"I ate everything, we don't have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," added Mrs Khalina, who had the child on 17 September.
In January 2005, a woman in Brazil gave birth to a baby weighing 17lb (7.73kg), the heaviest boy yet born in Brazil, according to the Brazilian Gynaecological Association.
Among the heaviest babies recorded are a 10.2kg (22.5lb) boy born in Italy in 1955, and a 10.8kg (23.8lb) boy born in the US in 1879 but who died 11 hours later.
